Auction result well in line with expectations
In May 2016 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction Chinese Contemporary Ink, which included the work Clear Water Abode 2012-07-01 by Wong Hau Kwei. The price achieved of HKD 112,500.00 (€ 13,002.92) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 90,000.00 – 130,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wong Hau Kwei achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Red Sail in Hong Kong Harbour in November 2021 with an auction result of HKD 1,250,000.00 (€ 138,987.33).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Mai 2016 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion Chinese Contemporary Ink durch, in der auch die Arbeit Clear Water Abode 2012-07-01 von Wong Hau Kwei zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 112.500,00 (€ 13.002,92) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 90.000,00 – 130.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wong Hau Kwei erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Red Sail in Hong Kong Harbour im November 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.250.000,00 (€ 138.987,33).
